Oldham’s The Revolution has pulled off a major coup by giving Peter Kay a slot on Christmas Day as his alter ego Geraldine McQueen.
It comes after a war of words which started after Geraldine won Channel 4’s Britain’s Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice.
A certain Simon Cowell on the other channel suggested that the single wasn’t all that good.
So Kay approached new Revolution-owner and wind up specialist Steve Penk:
"Peter came to me for help after Simon Cowell publicly derided Geraldine’s debut single, ‘The Winners Song, describing it as "pathetic". I was asked to put-in a call to Cowell winding him up over the whole spoof X-Factor thing."
 Face for radio
"When my agent told me about Steve’s offer I thought it was just another of his wind-ups," said Geraldine.
"But he told me how he felt I had a lovely bubbly personality as well as the perfect face for radio. I’m really looking forward to getting to grips with his equipment."
The McQueen’s Christmas Message will be aired on Christmas Day between 10am and midday on 96.2fm The Revolution. Something to add? Then leave a comment below or email us now.
